Creative Ecosystems Inquiry Form

Hello! My name is Adjenai (I sometimes go by Jay). I have 10 years of professional experience in a variety of creative operations roles. I am also a musician and writer with my own creative practice. I work with other creatives and arts orgs to balance streamlined administrative processes with the typically non-linear creative process. From building ground-up company wikis and writing training manuals to working with writers on organizing their Notes app to better track their ideas, I offer a variety of services focused on making the admin side of creativity easier.

Your systems should be customized to work for you, your team, and/or your brain!

ABOUT YOUR PROJECT/NEEDS:

What kind of administrative, operational, or organizational support are you looking for? This is an open-ended question. You can be as concise or as detailed as you'd like here. This is just to give me an idea of whether I can offer the support you might need. If you're not sure or if someone referred you, you can reference past clients here to get similar support.

Anything frustrating you right now? Any current pain points to flag?: This isn't a required question, but if you do have any specific struggles or things to flag in advance, it's helpful for me to get the full picture!

Do you have an existing tech-stack? Any platforms you need/want to use? I'm familiar with Notion, Monday, Slack/Slack Canvas, Asana, Google Workspace, Acuity, and more...

No, I'm open to new platforms, suggestions, or prioritizing analog systems.

Yes, I have specific platforms that work for me.

LET'S TALK BUDGET:

Initial pricing guidelines are as follows:

Inbox & Correspondence Oversight: $45-85/hr Dependent on volume and required turnaround.

Single Creator Processes/Organization Build: $300-975+ Dependent on required meetings, the scope of your work, and time to build process flows. One follow-up status check is included in the initial rate, with any additional 60-minute meetings charged at $90/hr.

Community Organization/Small Business Processes/Org Build: $500-3k+

Similar to pricing above but made to work for small teams, guests, and other regular collaborators/employees/volunteers

Please note: While pricing is dependent on scope, I do offer sliding scale -- especially for fellow queer and BIPOC creators. Many projects also fall outside this traditional pricing structure, and I'm always open to a discussion before locking in rates, splits, or alternative payment forms.

What is your budget for the needs you've shared?

This feels like a good spot for a little testimonial!

Here's some recent feedback:

"Adjenai is the rare person with both a vast creative capacity and an intuitive understanding of how intentionally developed systems can facilitate more creative freedom, especially for those of us who shudder at the thought of “getting organized”. Adjenai has shown me that flexibility and compassion are not the enemies of executive function and that accommodating my natural inclinations can help admin work feel less existentially dreadful." (LA-based musician building an indie record label)
